Sir Martin Alexander Lindsay, 1st Baronet, CBE, DSO (22 August 1905 – 5 May 1981) was a British army officer, polar explorer, politician and author. He first came to national attention in the 1930s, as a Polar explorer in Greenland. His front-line service during the Second World War, during which he commanded a battalion and was decorated for bravery, further added to his reputation. Immediately after the war he went into politics and served diligently as a Member of Parliament, for nearly two decades. In 1962, his lifetime of distinguished service to his country was recognised with the award of a Baronetcy. ==Early life== Lindsay was born to a long-established Scottish noble family and could trace direct descent, as 22nd in line, to the Sir William Lindsay who was ennobled as Lord Lindsay of Crawford in 1398. Martin Lindsay was himself the son of an officer in Britain's Indian Army who became a Lieutenant-Colonel in the 2nd King Edward VII's Own Gurkha Rifles. Lindsay was educated at Wellington College and at the Royal Military College Sandhurst.〔"Who Was Who", A & C Black.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Martin Lindsay, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
